    1985 Vmax Stock Exhaust

    Hello all, was hoping to get some direction. I have a stock Yamaha 1985 exhaust and have exhaust leaks coming from the two rear pipes at the headers. I purchased new copper washers and am having problems with them seating and sealing properly, I have lined the exhaust covers up and have snugged...

    Oil Change

    Update I took the oil filter assembly apart and found that the small o-ring was split and the big one was loose. I replaced them with the originals and put all back together. All is great and I only got a few drops of light dirty oil which was just what was left on the outer cover due to unwiped...

    Oil Change

    Thanks for the input, I noticed that the new o-ring was a bit smaller and rounder hopefully it will swell. If not I will take it apart and check it all out. I have a 1985 California 1200 Model.

    Oil Change

    I got all the parts needed put all back together and after starting engine a see a small drip seeping out of the oil filter bolt? The oil filter that I ordered had the 2 o-rings included, I installed them and smeared all areas with oil, any ideas on why I have a new leak now?

    You have a lot of good questions as I do. When I took off the carb I noticed that the screws where different sizes and one had a washer on it. Looks like a botched attempt and the exhaust to me is stock, unless there is a magical baffle system that slips into the stock pipes. The top air box is...

    Thanks I will check this in a few days, I took her out for a short ride last week and she ran great I'm just trying to get a hold on what has been done to this bike, the temp gauge doesn't seem to be working so I am cautious and I'm checking all of the fluids and changing them but all has looked...

    I think that the breather kit was installed for some weird reason relating to oil in the air box. I don't know the history of the bike but there was a switch installed on the left side cover to activate the radiator fan, and the previous owner drilled through the cover. It gives me the...

    I took a few pics of this system, there is a canister between the carbs that forks out to 2 little filters and the hose on the other side goes to the oil filler on the right side of the engine.
